Things that annoy you

I would like to start a thread dedicated to the things that annoy you. Not things you hate and despise…just non life-threatning things that everytime you encounter them you sigh and grumble.

I pulled out a pair of pants this morning while in a rush as I was late for work. I pulled them on, went to zip…

…and gouged my hand as there was no zipper, but a button fly.

The “Button fly” annoys me to no end. Why make a button fly when the zipper has been invented? The button fly was the predesssor to the zipper…why go backwards? They are hard to use and risky in pressure situations.

Students. Students often annoy me. Particularly college students who are, ostensibly, adults and, thus, responsible for their own actions. Yet, when it comes to their grades, they argue that they didn’t know they were failing and how come I didn’t tell them they were going to fail, when they KNOW they’ve failed to turn in work.

Ugh!

Armando, my sympathies. My mom’s a high school teacher on the verge of retirement, and I got to see/hear all the stuff she had to put up with. Students can be horrible.

Mine is, when you’re writing and you have point A and point C and you just can’t get the in-between point B right. I’ve been staring at this stupid page for three hours now. I’m writing for fun, dammit, shouldn’t it be fun and not aggravating?!

Where to start… At the Movies!

Commercials at the movies- this is a awful thing. I paid to see a movie AND i paid for Popcorn and soda…(maybe some candy) I don’t want commercials in a place where my chair can only point in one direction. :mad:

Start time of Movies. - If the listing time is 8:00pm then the feature should start at , hmm , lets see , um… 8:00pm! Start the previews whenever you have to to make the feature start on time. OR list two times one for the people who want to sit through the previews and the ACTUAL start time. I may want to see the previews, but I want to know if I am late or in time.

I’ll be back with more. but thats a start.

I get annoyed with myself when I get caught up in RealLife and forget to be thankful for what I have.

I get annoyed with myself when I don’t take the time to tell or show the people I care about how I feel about them.

I get annoyed when people go on and on about things that aren’t really important, wasting their time and mine.

People who TALK IN THE CINEMA. Why do people pay so much money to chat with their friends?

People who check their mobile phones in the cinema, that bright glowing screen is JUST what the people behind you want to see every 2 minutes, if it’s SO important to you, DONT GOT TO THE CINEMA.

I’ve decided to not do a whole list, suffice to say, when I take over the world, only I will be allowed to go to the cinema… I admit, the tickets may cost me up to 500,000,000 but it’s a small price to pay for the experience of not being surrounded by dickheads.

Oh, and people that don’t know that the green light on traffic lights means GO and seem to spend a long time working out what it’s for.

Going to a movie, paying for a soda, popcorn and candy that cost more then the movie ticket, and the movie is so bad that I feel less screwed about the money I over-spent on the food then I do about the matinee ticket.

#14

Seconded!!

#15

Siblings.
Parents.

The written English language. I have been speaking it all my life. I have a great vocabulary but when it comes to writing it it drives me nuts. trying to remember the difference between “to, too, and two”, when to apostrophe, where to add an “s”. Its messed up. Thats why i tend to write how i talk, sometimes phonetically so.

also it drives me nuts when my mom says the word “Nosh”

#18

Bad grammar :stuck_out_tongue:

#19

People that use toilets in malls, or pubs, or any public area, and don’t flush it… Seriously, why wouldn’t you flush the toilet? Are they SO proud of their leavings that they need it to be displayed?

My father has the nasty habit of not using nouns. What is it? Who is he? What about her? Hello old man :mad:, Pronouns don’t mean anything without a noun to define it. :wink:

Oh yeah, Politicians annoy me also. Maybe I should include all the people that choose to turn off their brains and run entirely on auto pilot? :rolleyes:
